The whole world is looking for Chen Ergou, and Cai Yinong's phone is about to be blown up, but what can she do, she can only tell the truth, "Their whereabouts are kept secret for the time being, the treasure is still dealing with the formalities, and everything will be explained to everyone after Xiao Chen comes back."

The reporter couldn't get what he wanted from the mouth of this old driver in the entertainment industry, so he did everything possible to go to Chen Ergou's hometown to dig up information, and even the villa that his family was building and the donated town avenue were exposed.

After Chen Ergou got the news, he simply asked them to move to the magic capital, and it was great to buy another house for the second elder to care for.

Even the retired Professor Clawson-Wu followed the fire, many people knew him as the rear brain of the Reservoir Dogs team, and with his high morality, there were immediately groups of reporters asking for interviews.

The old professor kept in touch with Chen Ergou, knew some of the situation, and said generously, "I would be happy to help them, but in fact, I haven't given much help, it's the efforts of the young people themselves." ”

"Professor, do you think this treasure will cause international disputes in Cuba? It is said that there are officials in the Cuban government who advertise that they are the owners of this treasure? And the French government claims that the Barbossa, formerly known as the Victor, was robbed by pirates before being converted into a pirate ship. They are also searching for information in order to claim back ownership of the ship. What do you think about this?"

Clausen-Wu said calmly: "I think these are rumors, perhaps the opinions of some individual officials, and they do not represent international law." According to the international law of the sea, ships and treasures found on the high seas belong to the individual discoverer. The place where Xiao Chen found the treasure this time was an uninhabited island located on the high seas, so the question of the ownership of this wealth was nothing to consider. ”

"But the items on the Barbossa are very helpful to the archaeological community, especially the "Luo Shen Fu Tu", which is very valuable for the study of Chinese history. As a treasure left over from the Pirates of the Caribbean, many treasures inside, such as Viking silver brooches, large stained glass beads, clocks and jewelry, etc., make people think about the civilization of the 18th century. An examination of the entire history of piracy in the Caribbean is also a major event. ”

Two days later, a huge old-time sailing ship "Barbossa", under the protection of a group of Blackwater's heavily armed security personnel, arrived at the Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminal.

When the news came out, it immediately attracted countless onlookers.

The Four Seasons Hotel, where Chen Ergou was staying, was also surrounded by reporters from both sides of the strait. Many bigwigs in the entertainment industry secretly sent messages, hoping to upload and visit, including the eldest brother Chenlong and the ghost director Xu Ke. The former has a hobby of collecting, probably just a temporary desire to come over to see what good collections are available, and the latter is said to be going to make a movie about the sea to find inspiration.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ergou politely refused for the time being on the grounds that he was still sorting out. But he also said that he would take the initiative to invite them to visit the ship if he had the opportunity in the future.

The big guy didn't mind, because Chen Ergou then received news from Cai Yinong, and Xu Ke wanted to find him to make a movie.

"Martial arts films, making movies?"

Chen Ergou was a little confused, he hadn't thought about this problem yet. But thinking about his current popularity, attention and image, he is indeed a good candidate for martial arts films. He's still quite tempted, after all, he was just a trick before he made his mark, how could there be such an opportunity. I took the script and read it again, and found that it was a supporting role, starring the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie, and this play was a group play.

Although Xu Laowei's martial arts films are bound to be popular, he is not rare, and he really doesn't have time now, so he can only decline.

If he had refused the olive branch of a great director like this before, Cai Yinong would definitely have persuaded him. Now, she didn't say much, and she felt a little pity in her heart.

Xu Lao Wei heard Chen Ergou's refusal, and he was quite sorry, knowing that Chen Ergou might not be able to film in the future, so he could only give up.

Chen Ergou made an appointment with an old acquaintance at Sotheby's in Hong Kong.

The treasure must be auctioned, and it is impossible for him to make a move to melt gold and sell gold, these are antiques.

Regarding the firmness and statistical work of this batch of treasures, Chen Ergou has also been handed over to Sotheby's.

Sotheby's attaches great importance to this list, and there is still a batch of jewelry that is being advertised and waiting for auction, so Chen Ergou can already be regarded as a super big financier. This treasure has already attracted the attention of the world, and it doesn't even need to be publicized too much to achieve miraculous results.

Such a good thing, of course, the competition is fierce.

In order to win the auction, they once again reduced the commission fee and also waived all the steadfastness fees.

As for the repatriation of the treasure and the security protection during the auction, the responsibility of Blackwater was entrusted to the company.

The statistical work was done very quickly, and within a few days, there was already a definite answer. Including various antique gold and silver items, the net weight is 11.2 tons. Of this, gold accounts for 70%. There are nearly 400,000 gold and silver coins of various kinds, as well as many precious stones and jewelry.

Perhaps because Barbossa was born into an aristocracy, he was particularly fond of works of art, so there were many valuable antiques in this treasure. These include Vacheron Constantin's gold chiming clock, tulip-patterned knight's full-body silver armor, a gold and silver openwork statue, and this well-preserved Spanish galleon, including the six cannons on board, all of which are from the past.

Even if Chen Ergou took out a few items from them for his own collection, the total value of the remaining items is initially estimated to exceed 400 million US dollars. If you add the diamonds and gemstones worth hundreds of millions of dollars that were commissioned for auction before, you can open a special auction for him, and the transaction volume may set a record for Sotheby's auction this year.

As soon as this set of data came out, it immediately attracted global attention.

At the same time, Chen Ergou also announced the coordinates and geographical location of the island where the treasure is located in accordance with the agreement.

All of a sudden, treasure hunters from all over the world, treasure hunting companies, ordinary people who want to try their luck, and rich people who are rushing to the sea off Cuba have set up boats or drove gorgeous yachts.

In a short period of time, the pirate island became a crowded holiday destination.

A reporter took an aerial photo of at least more than 100 luxury yachts staying on the lagoon in front of the small beach of the entire island. Young men and women have a swimsuit party in the beautiful lagoon, day and night, with loud music, night parties, and beer deliveries, as if it had become a mecca for parties.

Someone even photographed the Hollywood big name "Little Plum" running over with a ticket of girls to join in the fun, and even the super luxury yacht of the Middle East tycoon appeared. They are all people who are not short of money, and what they are looking for is just the thrill of treasure hunting.

Good swimmers, on the other hand, dive in search of treasure.

Chen Ergou didn't lie, there was indeed a sunken ship in the lagoon, and he didn't clean it up. Many people have picked up gold coins or some other knick-knacks in the lagoon and returned satisfied.

I don't know how many reporters rushed over, and the news was uploaded to the Internet every day. More and more information about the island's buildings is appearing on the Internet, and there are rumors that someone has picked up a gold coin or an antique item, and envy others.
